When I was in college, I told a friend of mine (who happened to be an Indian woman in her early 20s) about seeing a hair pulling contest, when I was a boy, between two moms in my neighborhood (I didn't tell her that one of the moms was my mom). Because of the opening I gave her, she talked freely with me about hair pulling and other catfights she had either been in or seen in India. She, as most Indian women, had beautiful, long, thick hair, and because Indian women are so blessed, that's what they go for at the beginning of a catifight. Indeed, she said that hair pulling was the main way that Indian women fought, along with scratching, kicking, biting, and ocassionally punching (but not the punching and Kung Fu nonsense that we see in Indian movies. It's not the sort of thing Indian women usually do). What I came away with is that Indian women have hair pulling catfights more often than Western women, but do so in private, among the women, and don't speak of it to a wider, male audience. Maybe, that's why catfights aren't so widely publized in India. And, maybe that's why we see women in all those rolling-around or Kung Fu nonsense so-called catfights in Indian-produced films, rather than the real hair pulling, slapping, scratching, and biting catfights that happen in daily life.
